For larger ones you would be better off with an OOP language. Nah. A language that tries to enforce a specific style is bad. And IIRC, OO is a design and programming methodology. You can do OO even in languages like C, if you know those languages.

And I find even large Perl apps easier to handle than Java (but again, I know Perl better than Java). You merely need to stick to the documented features of your modules, and use good coding practices. Perl makes it easy to write WORN code, Java makes that difficult. But Perl gives a lot more flexibility than Java, and cross platform portability as well. >If you're a regex freak, you can use Jakarta's ORO package (now jdk1.4 >gives regexes too).

Actually, I think we need a fair comparison of languages around here now. Language goals, scalability (this includes how large the apps can get, and what apps can be written), language philosophy, libraries, performance, ease of development. Once we have some numbers to throw around, then we can indulge in a sensible discussion, otherwise this is a very inflammatory topic. WODE.
